Course Terms & Conditions

To attend a course provided by Offshore Marine People and Academy Limited (OMPA), payment of the course fees must be made in full prior to the course start date.

Course fees include all course materials, lunch, tea & coffee for the duration of the course.

All accommodation & travel associated with attendance at the course must be organised and booked by the delegate. These must be flexible and allow for change or cancellation. OMPA recommend accommodation and travel should not be booked until joining instructions have been issued by OMPA as these confirm the required course places have been filled.

Course cancellation by OMPA

OMPA reserve the right to amend or cancel course dates. Whilst every effort is made to provide the courses as advertised it may be necessary to change dates or cancel a course up to 7 days before the start date.

In all circumstances of the course being cancelled by OMPA, the delegate will be able to move the booking to an alternative date or to receive reimbursement of any course fees paid.

Course cancellation by delegate

In the event a delegate wishes to amend or cancel the course dates the reimbursement terms which apply depend on whether the course is booked via the OMPA website or whether the course is booked direct with OMPA via telephone or email correspondence.

In either event OMPA’s liability for reimbursement will be limited to a proportion of the course fees paid and will not include travel or accommodation.

Bookings via the website

In the event a delegate wishes to cancel the course and the course is booked via the OMPA website, the following reimbursements will be made by OMPA to the delegate:

if cancellation is made up to 1 week prior to course date, no refund will be issued
if cancellation is made up to 2 weeks prior to course date, 50% refund will be issued
if cancellation is made up to 3 weeks prior to course date, 75% refund will be issued
if cancellation is made up to 4 weeks prior to course date, a full refund will be issued

Bookings via telephone or email correspondence

In the event a delegate makes a booking with OMPA via telephone or email correspondence, OMPA will issue an invoice to the delegate.

Receipt of the invoice must be acknowledged by the delegate within 7 days of the date of the invoice and confirmation must be given to OMPA of the date payment of the course fee will be made.

Failure of the delegate to confirm the date the payment of the course fee will be made will result in the delegate forfeiting their place on the course.

In the event the delegate wishes to cancel their place on a course the delegate must notify OMPA in writing.

Following receipt of written notice of cancellation, the following reimbursements will be made by OMPA to the delegate:
if cancellation is made up to 1 week prior to course date, no refund will be issued
